3 Good Reasons to Make Your Baby's Halloween Costume

I'm guessing many of you have started thinking about Halloween costumes for your baby (just cause their so darn cute).  Since it's the beginning of the month of this fun holiday I wanted to share some good reasons why you may want to consider making the costume for your baby.

I know you are saying to yourself, when am I going to find the time to do this when I barely have time to make dinner (at least that's what I originally thought until I tried it myself). 

Last year's costume- made with yellow pjs, felt,
feathers, poster board & lots of love!

1) Save Money- Rather than spending $40 on a costume you will most likely only get one or two uses out of, use items that you already have at home.  Many homemade costumes can be made from stuff you have lying around .

2) More Quality Time- Packing up baby to go to the store, making a decision between the limited choices available, and fighting the crowds takes up a lot of time.  Why not spend your quality time at home with your baby as you make their costume with them (I know my little one likes to think she is helping me do things).

3) Guaranteed Unique- The costume will surely be a one-of-a-kind and you will have the bragging rights (& pictures) to show you did it yourself.







NOTE: I am by no means a seamstress; there are many costume ideas out there that require no skill whatsoever.  Disney's FamilyFun site has a whole bunch of ideas for inspiration.
